Description:
Similar to frogs in many respects, a typical Vernol is green and has a large mouth filled with a tongue that can reach nearly three meters. This tongue is used to catch small flying creatures and insects on their homeworld. They are very aware that using their tongue in the company of other species is socially unacceptable and keep it to themselves. However, it can be used as a weapon if need be as it is sticky and covered in a semi-toxic slime that numbs nerves on contact. Despite this highly adaptive appendage, the Vernol are rarely, if ever, caught using it as they would be shunned by their own species unless used in dire circumstances.

The Vernol are very good swimmers and can breath water as well as air. As they are reptilian they can adjust to the pressures of greater depths much more readily than other species allowing them to dive down to nearly 500 meters with no adverse affects. Their hands are no longer webbed, but their feet remain so as they have adapted to life on the land for many generations.

Special Abilities:
Foragers: Vernols are excellent foragers (many have translated this ability to an aptitude in investigation). They receive a +1D bonus to either survival, investigation or search (player chooses which skill is affected at the time of character creation).

Special Skills:
Swimming: All Vernol add +2D to their Swimming skill when in the water.
